ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

Hardly week passes without the men
tion nbythenewspapers ofsudden deaths, and
OF late the alarming frequency OF the state
ment that death was caused by rheumatism
or neuralgia of the heart cannot fail to have
been noticed, In all probability many deaths
attributed TO heart disease are caused by
these terrible diseases, which are far more
dangerous than is generally considered. Is
there any positive cure? The best answer
to such a question is given by those who hare
been cured by the use Of Athlophoros.

Two bottles Of Athlophoros cured me Of

had done all he could, but could not give
me any relief; but Athlophoros drove it

NEBRASKA'S GLORY.
The Cornerstone Laid for State Soldiers and Sail
Ors' Home.


The cornerstone Of the Nebraska Soldiers
aud Sailors Home was laid at Grand Island
Neb., Oct. %. with grand ceremonies, under the
auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic.
A few Grand Army comrades succeeded, at
the last session of the Nebraska Legislature, in
having law passed appropriating money to
found a State Home for disabled and poor SOL
diers and sailors Of the rebellion, and the locs-
tion was fixed at Grand Island. This grand
charity extends not only to the survivors who
need aid, but 10 their families; for a system is
adopted which will provide cottage support for
those who have wives and children dependent
upon them, and each family cottage will have
little garden plot attached.
This is long step in the right direction, and
Nebraska, the younger sister in the galaxy of
States, leads in this beneicent charity.
Gen. John Hammond has been appointed
Superintendent of the Home and will very
soon be prepared to care for the old soldiers
and sailors and their families who are entitled
20 aid.
The laying of the cornerstone WAS made the
occasion for a grand gathering of veterans, and
Posts from all the surrounding towns were
represented there, when the Department Com
mander conducted the ceremony according to
the Ritual of the Order.
Gen. John VI. Thayer, the soldier Governor
of the State made an eloquent address, and was
followed by Department Commander II. G. Rus
sell, Gen. Paul Van Dervoort, Past Commander
in-Chief and Capt. A. Atlee.

The Naval Reunion at St. Louis.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The naval
veterans who assembled in st. Louis during
Encampment week held two meetings in the
hall of Gen. +. p. Blair Post, No. l, and had
real old fashioned time. Shipmates met there
who had not seen each other for over 20 years.
The shipmates partook of a lunch provided by
Capt. Parker, who, by the way, ought to be
General or Admiral and il is hoped he will get
there soon. Resolutions of thanks were passed
to the comrades of Blair Post for the use of
their hall. A committee consisting of Thomas
l.. johnson. J. G. Parker and l.. G.. Harris. was
appointed to urge upon the 2lst National En-
campment the propriety of selecting naval
veteran as one of the National officers. Speeches
were made, songs sung and yarns told. Among
the more prominent speakers were Shipmate 5.
H. Maunder, of Kansas; +. II. Grove, OF New
York; William Simmons, of Philadelphia,
Frank Huber, of Nebraska; Phil w. Hager, Of
Kentucky, aud John Robinson of Elba, D. Ship
mate Crowley, the boss plumber of St. Louis

The naval veterans were favorably impressed
with the liberal hospitality of our Western
comrades, aud separated firmly resolved that if
spared they would meet again next year at CO.

should not meet every year at the Reunion of

allow me 10 say, as an old officer Of the United
States and the person who had charge of John
ID. Lee, Bishop Dame and a number of other
Mormon Mountain Meadow murdercrs, and a
resident and traveller all over the Territory of
Utah for the past 10 years that the Mormon
question is not political one. Polygamy is
only license OF lust granted to those who Join
their banditti and pay tithing. They preach
treason; they teach treason now. The AOr-
mons of Utah celebrated the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln. They, "on the quiet" teach
their children 20 hate the United States Gov
eTnment. They take an oath in the Endow-
ment House that they viii revenge the death
of Joseph and Hiram Smith, their late prophets
against the United States Government and
teach their children TO do the same Then, is
not this National question, and not political
one? Are we (the Grand Army not still on
guard, and is not eternal vigilance the price of
liberty, with an align horde coming into the
Territory every moAth atthe expense Of these
reasonable Mormon leaders, aud kept as much
as possible from contact with the loyal c tiZens
What will be the o0tconie of this disloyal or

Cause Of the Prevalent American Heart Disease

People past fifty often die of ordinary dis
eases, and the physician tells you there was in
suticiency OF the heart, or nervous system,
which would not respond to medical treatment.
People drop dead from insutficiency of the heart.
1t is called heart disease. Symptoms are: easily
out OF breath, nervous, weakness in the chest.
Causes: wearying care, perplexities, an intense
emotional nature. Many constitutions are
broken at forty-five or fifty. Heavy business
is crushing the life out of the American people
aud causing all of it. In illustration: Col.
Bennett, the famous Philadelphia millionaire,
was told by his physicians he was in that CON
dition, and they could not help him. A cele-
brated Judge in the Supreme Court told him TO
take Moxie-medicine would do no good. 1t
brought his nervous system up at once, and he
has been in business and solid health over
year. He now declares he will build mOnu-
ment in the Park TO its discoverer. Nourish
the excessive nerve wear, and you will prolong
your life very much. Medicine will do moth
ing in such cases.

which you so kindly referred 20 me, in regard
to Section of Service Pension Bill adopted by
the Union Veterans Union in National En-
campment at Cleveland, o., Sept. 26 and 20
will say it is queer that an article so plain
could be misconstrued. Z. A. = reads il that
40 soldier who Tc-enlisted or was discharged
for promotion can obtain pension under the
bill, when the facts in the ease are that every
man who enlisted gets pension for every day
he served, if the bill is passed.
For instance, If he served 100 days he will
get 81 per month; one year, 1896 per month !;
three years Sl0.95 per month, or one cent per
day. IL hc was discharged for disability con-
tracted in service lac is allowed the full term of
his enlistment, but If he was discharged for
promotion OF To Te-cnlist he is not allowed for
full term, but is allowed for every day he
serves Ii allowed for full term Of first enlist
! ment, and also for second enlistment you can
! see plainly he would be receiving pension for
+ two days FOR every one he served. The bill
/ also gives pension TO those already receiving
pension by adding service 10 their disability
pension. Many OF the New York and leading
papers Of the country have commented very
4 fayorabiy on this bill, aud we think the legis-
lators and the people generally when they come
